Implementing IIMARCH Framework for Briefing
As a commander or subordinate commander in emergency situations, having a structured briefing framework enhances communication and coordination. The widely used IIMARCH system provides a comprehensive structure:

- Example: At Kevin Quarry, JCB, a landslide occurred at 12:30 this afternoon, entrapping approximately 50 patients.
- Current Status: 20 patients evacuated, 30 unaccounted for.
Intent
Mission Statement: Define your objective succinctly:
- Example: Intent is to triage, treat, and transport all casualties from the scene.
Method
Operational Approach: Outline how the mission will be executed:
- Establish a casualty clearing station at the quarry head.
- Utilise land ambulances to transport patients.
- Evacuate P1 and P2 casualties via Helimed from the helipad; P3 casualties by road.
Administration
Task Assignment: Specify roles, responsibilities, and accountability:
- Duncan - Primary triage officer, supported by Gary, John, and Paul.
Risk Assessment
Identify and Manage Risks: Address safety measures and protocols:
- High visibility PPE with role-specific tabards and hard helmets.
- Entry control system for personnel at quarry base.
Communications
Effective Communication Channels: Establish talk groups for clear communication:
- Multiple talk groups may include tactical to operational, tactical to control, and logistics.
- Ensure personnel are aware of assigned talk groups.
Humanitarian Issues
Attend to Welfare and Public Relations: Address staff welfare, media management, and social media:
- Supporting staff well-being amidst the crisis.
- Guidelines for media interaction and on-site social media use.
Implementing the IIMARCH framework ensures a structured and effective briefing, enhancing operational readiness and response capabilities in emergency scenarios.
